Chapter 276 A Small Goal
Of course Zhang Chen knew that this was a request from the arrangement, but the question still had to be answered carefully.
He pretended to think, and then stretched out a finger, "Let's set a small goal for the box office first."
The host complimented: "A small goal?"
"That's 100 million."
Wow~
The crowd was whispering to each other. Although there were four consecutive movies that exceeded 100 million yuan last year, it is still a small probability event for the box office to exceed 100 million yuan.
Have you not seen that half of this year has passed, and only Zhang Chen’s "Manslaughter" has exceeded 100 million?
What’s more, Ning Hao is still a newcomer.
Well, they positioned Ning Hao as a newcomer. As for "Black 3", I'm sorry, that is not Ning Hao's work.
No wonder Ning Hao was holding back his energy to prove himself.
Zhang Chen explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, everyone, there is nothing surprising about this.
I said before that Ning Hao is a genius, but everyone definitely didn't believe it at the time.
Now that you've seen "The Stone", do you still think I'm bragging?
Is it too much for a genius movie to have a box office of 100 million?
Or let’s think about it from another angle:
The cost of "Shark Beach" was 10 million, and the final box office was 140 million. "The Stone" is similar to it. A small goal is normal..."
This guy It's just a confusing concept.
The heroine of "Shark Beach" is Fan Xiaopang, and the protagonists of "Stone" are Xu Guangtou and Aren. They are not on the same level as "Shark Beach". Dominating the month of November, and being highly praised by all theaters, "The Stone", although it is a popular summer release, it has a competitor "Seven Swords" in the same period. If nothing else, the film schedule alone cannot reach the level of "Shark Tank" degree.
Therefore, many people think Zhang Chen is bragging, even Ning Hao feels the same.
Ning Hao had imagined that he would laugh if the box office of "Stone" could reach 60 million. It doesn't need to be too high. He would be satisfied even if it was just tied with "Black 3".
"Okay, let's wait and see."
The host was about to drop the topic when a reporter stood up and said: "Director Zhang Chen, I am from Phoenix Weekly Reporter, I would like to ask if "The Stone" is scheduled to be released half a month earlier than the original "Seven Swords". Is it because you are afraid of competition and deliberately avoid it?"
Liu Yiwei's eyes darkened when he heard this question. , what kind of evil is possessed today, why are there such sharp questions.
His job as a host is really... so tiring!
Zhang Chen glanced at the work badge hanging on the other person's chest. He was really a reporter from "Phoenix Weekly".
I thought to myself that finally some Hong Kong media mentioned this, and if no one mentioned it anymore, he would have to let his own arrangements take care of it.
Zhang Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, the old god looked at the other person.
Although he did not express his opinion, most of the guests at the scene thought so.
"Seven Swords" is a masterpiece with an investment of 140 million, and the director is Xu Ke, one of the three major directors in Hong Kong. It is a normal reaction to avoid it.
There is nothing to be ashamed of.
We are all filmmakers, so we understand this very well.
On the contrary, they felt that the sudden release of "Seven Swords" was a bit unreasonable, and it was obvious that they were bullying "Stone" for such a small cost.
"Everyone must think that "The Stone" is scheduled to be released on July 15th to avoid "Seven Swords"..."
Zhang Chen spoke: "Actually, it's not at all.
My first movie "Dark Invasion", I had nothing at the time, so I dared to make "Dark Invasion" after "Troy" and "House of Flying Daggers" "Seven Swords" was released in the middle of the movie, why do you think I'm afraid of "Seven Swords"?"
Hearing Zhang Chen's remarks, the audience was stunned. Yes, Zhang Chen is not even afraid of "House of Flying Daggers"? , how could you be afraid of "Seven Swords"?
Thinking again, the situation of "Stone" today is very similar to that of "Dark Invasion" at that time. They were both sandwiched between a Hollywood blockbuster and a local blockbuster.
"Dark Invasion" is "Troy" and "House of Flying Daggers".
"The Stone" is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Seven Swords."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly asked beside him: "Ning Hao, are you afraid of competing with Director Xu Ke?" Ning Hao took the microphone and took a step forward: "No, our teacher said , directors only rely on their works to speak for themselves. I think the quality of "Stone" is not bad. I am happy to have a try with Director Xu Ke..."
Hmm~
< br>Zhang Chen was very satisfied with Ning Hao's reaction.
This was not rehearsed in advance, it was entirely improvised.
Ning Hao is a bit bloody, Yuan Kong, this guy was even detained for fighting with the property owner.
So Ning Hao’s movies are very down-to-earth, and the little characters he shoots are all very interesting, because he was once a little character.
The same is true for Huang Bo.
The little characters he played were superb because those were his real experiences.
Why did people complain about it later? Because after becoming famous and breaking away from the bottom life, naturally I couldn't act.
Speaking of this, I have to complain about the current TV series. I don’t know what’s wrong with those big directors. They all like to focus on grassroots life.
Talk delivery guys and so on...
But whether they are directors or actors, their lives are too high-end and they have no access to this group, so they can fake it no matter how they film it.
Obviously the actors acted very carefully, but it was just wrong, no wonder they were scolded~
"Since everyone has this question, let me explain to you that "Crazy Stone" is scheduled to be released on July 15th, not to avoid "Seven Swords". On the contrary, we are actually trying to avoid "Super Girl" in August. ". "
When you hear "Super Girl", some people know it, and some people have never heard of it at all.
"Supergirl" has already started in various cities in July, but the popularity has not yet reached its peak and has not reached the level of the whole people, so it is not surprising that some people don't know about it.
Zhang Chen is not afraid of attracting the attention of the publisher of "Seven Swords".
Except for Zhang Chen, who is a reborn person, no one could have imagined that "Super Girl" would become so popular, not even Mango Channel itself.
Even if someone thought of it, they would definitely not be able to figure out a way to break it.
This is the general trend~
This is a conspiracy~
If I give you a question, you won’t be able to come up with the answer even if you open the book.
At the same time, Zhang Chen did this to attract the attention of Mango Channel so as to prepare for his future joining.
The reporter was still unwilling to give in: "Then director Zhang is not worried about the box office of "The Stone"?"
"What are you worried about?"
""Seven Swords" was produced by a Hong Kong team. When it comes to commercial films, the Hong Kong team is the most professional..."
When it comes to this, Zhang Chen is not happy.
“I’m very surprised, where did this statement come from? Even the media always say that mainlanders can’t make commercial films~
Why can’t mainlanders make commercial films?
All the films I have made are commercial films, are they bad at the box office?
Is it worse than what the so-called professional team in Hong Kong did?
At the beginning, I also wondered why some people always use this to slander domestic commercial films. When I heard that it was produced by a mainland company, I felt inferior and cheap~
Later I have also thought about it. Is there a possibility that this statement came from Hong Kong, because they can only make commercial films. If we can make commercial films, they will have nothing to eat..."
< br>
Wow~
The guests were all shocked by Zhang Chen’s boldness.
It’s really Zhang Chen who dares to say anything!
But if you think about it along his train of thought, it seems to make some sense.
When did this statement appear?
No one knows, but everyone agrees.
But now think about it, yes, why are domestic commercial movies so bad?
The group of people was led into a ditch by Zhang Chen. Only a few relatively sober people knew that domestic commercial movies were bad, but those produced by Star Entertainment were not bad.
